The Work Today
The cooking is organized around timing, access, and restraint rather than ornament: ingredients used when they are ready, sourced close enough to keep their place legible on the plate. Two summer dishes make that method specific.
Acclaim
Québec terroir is named directly in the work, then carried through fresh ingredients, local sourcing, and dishes whose provenance remains traceable. The continuity is practical: market cuisine and Québec terroir are translated into a menu of tomatoes, northern shrimp, house-made brioche, and products whose origins are meant to remain visible.
